New Vacuum-Tight Circular Connectors for Defense & Aerospace Applications

Extending the capabilities of its field-proven M series, LEMO has released the new M series HY, a new circular connector model specifically designed for applications requiring vacuum-tight connections in harsh environments. Ultra-low leak rate coupled with a wide operating temperature range allows for unmatched performance in optical enclosures or high-altitude applications.

The company suggests that this new addition to the M series lineup provides customers with the highest density ratchet coupling connectors on the market where vacuum-tight integrations are required. The connectors offer reliable, safe, rugged, and lightweight interconnect solutions for aerospace, automotive, defense, tactical communication, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications.

Key features of the new M series HY include: 

• Ultra-low leak rates
• Optimized PCB tails enabling easier PCB routings on high-density configurations
• Lightweight materials
• Vacuum-tight sealing over an extended temperature range -55° to +150° C
• High vibration resistance
• Reliable and safe
